| Topic | If you have a degree, what is it in? Do your friends respect it? |
| MangaBroski 04/29/24 1:28:51 PM #23 | Sufferedphoenix posted... What good is that degree unless you plan to be a teacher in English? Honest questionAt least here, teaching pre-college education requires a degree in education, so one cant even just become a teacher from having a BA in English. While not being useful for any common job, it does meet the requirements for jobs that ask only of the applicant has a a degree. Someone actually involved with or paying vigorous attention to a literary art scene (film and television as well) could do critic work in those areas. I unfortunately usually dont keep pace with those media and when I do, dont have the energy to fight for scraps doing recaps before one establishes themself. |

| MangaBroski 04/29/24 8:32:32 AM #2 | If I envisioned a goal and an employee one-upped the expectation and delivered better results than what I had anticipated, Id absolutely congratulate them. |
| Topic | If you have a degree, what is it in? Do your friends respect it? |
| MangaBroski 04/29/24 8:26:21 AM #8 | BA in English Most of my friends dont respect my degree, but then again, neither do I. |
| Topic | If existential fear won't get you to vote against Trump, then nothing will. |
| MangaBroski 04/26/24 12:26:12 PM #54 | Some people will not be significantly worse off themselves if they support Trump over other candidates. Those people have nothing to lose. And, if they hate the same groups that Trump hates, can use the president as validation for their actions and beliefs. |
| Topic | I can't wrap my head around people who can't swim. |
| MangaBroski 04/25/24 12:33:42 PM #48 | I have been a fatty my whole life and Ive never been able to float. |
| Topic | I can't wrap my head around people who can't swim. |
| MangaBroski 04/25/24 10:52:58 AM #18 | I suck at motor skills. Trying to move my arms one way, legs another way, and turning my head to breathe is too much for my body to focus on, let alone functioning the correct forms to move. The most I ever swam was half the length of a pool using a very slow backstroke in high school. Going that far took all of concentration and focus. I cant even float. In addition to trying to learn in both my freshman and sophomore years of high school when it was mandatory, I had also taken swim lessons with I was 9, and failed to learn back then too. |
| Topic | Rare W against squatters in New York. |
| MangaBroski 04/24/24 1:25:02 PM #20 | CARRRNE_ASADA posted... CARRRNE_ASADA posted... Also its a somewhat frequent thing with short term rentals like Airbnb where people book for weeks and never leave, cause now the time they spent in the house qualifies them for squatter rights.If someone owns a house and uses it solely for temporary rentals, that person is hoarding a valuable resource while failing to meaningfully service society. Squatters are doing the lords work in such scenarios. |
| Topic | How many accounts do you have that have access to CE? |
| MangaBroski 04/24/24 1:18:53 PM #47 | One. Im now forever confined to to only this alt on CE. |

| Topic | Would honey and salted caramel cupcakes be good? |
| MangaBroski 04/22/24 6:35:07 PM #1 | Not sure how exactly this would go? Honey-cupcake, vanilla buttercream frosting with a sea salt caramel drizzle? I will be making chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting as well, but I plan to make a second flavor. I dont feel like spending the big money on fruit to make a fruit-flavored cupcake. |
| Topic | Do you like Billie Eilish's music? |
| MangaBroski 04/22/24 6:28:43 PM #11 | I am ambivalent to most of her music, so I will say no. |
| Topic | Do you regularly eat peanut butter? |
| MangaBroski 04/21/24 2:48:01 PM #3 | Ive been taking peanut butter and jam sandwiches to work as my lunch for the past several months. |
| Topic | Did you like She-Hulk Spoilers |
| MangaBroski 04/21/24 2:47:07 PM #27 | I actually liked the ending. I was a fan of She-Hulk as an MCU property. Being a comedy foremost was a breath of fresh air for the franchise. In comparisons to other comedy shows in general, it was pretty average however. |
| Topic | Generally, how do you prefer demons in media to be portrayed? |
| MangaBroski 04/21/24 2:44:41 PM #3 | Without context I have no preference. I will say the amount of demons involved can affect something. If theres only twelve demons and theyre all evil, thats fine. But if theres hundreds of demons, all demons being evil would become very boring assuming demons are constantly showing up. A case where all demons are good or misunderstood would probably be too much a stretch. Even if the demons may have once had goals or ideals perceived as good, some of them should have fallen to some degree where theyre clearly evil, even if the demons themselves are unaware that theyre evil. |
| Topic | Favorite M&M flavor |

Peanut butter for me, but I like Reeses Pieces more. |
| Topic | New Taylor Swift album coming out this Friday, are you excited? |
| MangaBroski 04/21/24 11:43:52 AM #49 | BearlyWilling posted... Its cute that neckbeards still like to pretend that this woman is not talented.No one is saying she doesnt have talent or skill. Lets be real, like most major pop artists, her a lot of the songwriting is done by someone else and a likely a good chunk of the album was made to be a commercial juggernaut, which isnt an uncommon goal for mainstream pop. Some people just dont vibe to that. Ill give a listen to make my own judgements, but the album isnt a priority listen for me. |
| Topic | An Elder Scrolls movie or series seems inevitable now. |
| MangaBroski 04/21/24 12:22:44 AM #13 | God_of_6strings posted... I don't think it'll necessarily be set in Skyrim. And HOPEFULLY no dragonborn. I'm saying the majority of the fan service will be for Skyrim fans. Almost no doubt you'll see at least one dragon.I think using Tamriel as a whole would work well enough. Hate it or like it, Fallouts backgrounds were ai, so an Elder Scrolls show would also have ai backgrounds which would cut location budgets. Moving between provinces isnt uncommon in lore and would give more creative freedom. The only downside would be the flavor of issue of that isnt done in games other than Arena and Online. |

| Topic | Independent on Man who set self on fire, he posted conspiracies online |
| MangaBroski 04/20/24 1:07:52 PM #9 | WingsOfGood posted... Yea not even sure he was into MAGA type conspiracy, based on what the article provides.I didnt make it clear, I think this guy was probably on the left side of the political spectrum. I just used right-wing conspiracy theorists as a parallel because we hear about them more often. |
| Topic | Your music hot takes. |
| MangaBroski 04/20/24 12:36:02 PM #91 | -1989 wasnt a good album. -Alice in Chains>Nirvana -Limp Bizkits (popular and iconic) music may be cheesy, but it encapsulates the edginess and mood of the era when it came out. -Nu-metal is more interesting than metalcore. -Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land felt like Marina saw the failure of Love + Fear, and then just made an album that could placate her existing fanbase based on her previous albums and had little vision to it. -Enslaveds blackened prof>everything of their not titled Vikingr Veldi Zwijn posted... Modern metal > classic metalDepends on the subgenre. I havent heard a recent great thrash album that wasnt by a band older than me. Black metal is getting some good stuff as of late (though I cant wont say it beats some of the iconic, classic albums of the genre) |
| Topic | Independent on Man who set self on fire, he posted conspiracies online |
| MangaBroski 04/20/24 12:23:54 PM #3 | Sounds like the guy fell down the rabbit hole. We hear about right-wing people who do that. Based on the article, the guy seemed to pose no threat to other people, nor did he intend to harm other people. Since he wasnt looking to hurt other people, I have pity for him falling down that rabbit hole. |
| Topic | POLL: Rebel Moon |
| MangaBroski 04/20/24 8:39:38 AM #25 | I didnt watch part one and wont watch part 2. I dont have Netflix anymore, and Rebel Moon isnt compelling me to pay for the service. |
| Topic | What's the most popular franchise whose game you've never played before. |
| MangaBroski 04/19/24 3:14:07 PM #17 | Fifa Madden (idk if this is still the most popular football game series) NBA (idk what number they use now) Mario (unless you count Gameboy Donkey Kong as a Mario game) Fallout Zelda (though I own Breath of the Wild, I havent gotten around to playing it for more than five minutes) |
| Topic | Can you tell if these 20s are fake? |
| MangaBroski 04/19/24 3:10:20 PM #23 | I accidentally took one of those at work a week ago. |
| Topic | Tomorrow is the MOST obnoxious day of the year. |
| MangaBroski 04/19/24 12:46:30 PM #17 | While I partake in recreational use (its legal where I live), the people who make their whole personality of it can be annoying. However, I dont have to deal with the obnoxious any more than anyone else on any other day that pushes people towards obnoxiousness or people who are just obnoxious regardless of whether or not anything is being celebrated. Where I use to live, the day of the St. Patricks Day parade was far more unsafe than any other day. |
| Topic | Producer Carol Baum slams Sydney Sweeney: She 'isn't pretty' and 'can't act' |
| MangaBroski 04/19/24 9:36:38 AM #17 | Id like to know who Carol Baum considers pretty. Sydney Sweeney isnt a great actor, but shes satisfactory in her roles. The roles Sweeney takes arent ones that are goin to be up for awards, but are the kind that could get people to watch something because they have some interest, whatever that may be, in her. |
| Topic | If we were in an environmental crisis |
| MangaBroski 04/19/24 9:29:13 AM #6 | I hear nuclear power is the actually the route to go for the environment, but many places are afraid and Im guessing it has neither the lobbyists of oil nor the green branding of solar. This being said, when something goes wrong with nuclear power, it can become a drastically bigger problem than other sources immediate problems. In the USA at least, a country whose industries and goals seem to directed towards maximum profits which would forsake safety and quality to see those profits, I could understand the hesitation. |
| Topic | Left leaning people. Do you like South park? |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 5:42:58 PM #30 | I liked South Park when I was younger, but I havent watched it in over a decade. |
| Topic | So let me get this straight, |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 4:44:51 PM #9 | In the OPs hypothetical, the focus is made out to be the clothes, not the model. Saying the outfit looks good,[sic] should I buy it? specifically denotes the clothes as the object of discussion and not the person wearing them. Going even further, linking to a clothing site would add a sense of legitimacy to the subject being the clothes. I mean, people could really try and use that to do vague hornyposting, but with regular clothes available for purchase, thats a lot of work most wouldnt want to play along with. |
| Topic | I feel like studios insist on *not* giving viewers what they want. |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 1:04:13 PM #12 | 1.Viewers dont know what they want until they have it. 2.For all the viewers who want a specific idea or element, many other viewers, if not more, dont want that element or idea present. 3.Studios dont actually know what people want so theyre doubling down on IPs because theyre stuck in yesteryears mentality. 4.Movies and shows are expensive, so the studios can, to a degree, dictate what people want. |
| Topic | Here's my plan to get mecha fights IRL |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 10:28:17 AM #1 | The USA will hold a mecha combat tournament. The winner gets two years of just not having to pay taxes. The only people who could afford to finance these mecha would be billionaires, so we cant win them with money but we can win them with just eliminating what they complain about the most. The downside- the USA military will assuredly have some kind of clause that they can take the mecha designs for their own use. |
| Topic | Do you plan on visiting Japan? |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 10:23:55 AM #63 | ssjevot posted... I'm vegetarian. There are websites that tell you in English what restaurants are vegetarian and also in Tokyo and Kyoto many places will advertise it directly. There is a vegan ramen place in Kyoto that's extremely good.Alright, Im honestly surprised. Vegetarian diets arent very common outside of the USA and parts of India* from my understanding. I figured there wouldnt be any indicators. *From my understanding, while a number of Hindu Indian people identify as vegetarian the number who are is lower. Still considering that, I would expect to be able to easily find vegetarian options in many parts of India. |
| Topic | Do you plan on visiting Japan? |
| MangaBroski 04/18/24 6:02:06 AM #56 | Glob posted... Expecting people to know languages to travel somewhere is ridiculous. Am I just supposed to learn 30 odd languages? Nobody does that.As a strict vegetarian, I may require an ingredients list. |

| Topic | Do you plan on visiting Japan? |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 9:40:23 PM #31 | Glob posted... And I have told you several times that thats foolish.I am not going to try and have someone explain an ingredient list to me in English nor am I going to trust a translation device on that. Idk how Id even engage in anything around me without any way to communicate with anyone and no way to read whats written. |
| Topic | So is that Lizzo pick where she's in the ocean against the rules to post now |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 8:46:39 PM #5 | voldothegr8 posted... There isn't a single pic of Lizzo which should be considered hornyposting. Unless of course we have any planets posting here.Done bodyshaming? |
| Topic | Do you plan on visiting Japan? |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 8:44:34 PM #11 | I have posted numerous times that I will not travel to a location where I do not speak the common tongue. So, it would be unlikely for me to ever to travel to Japan for leisure or recreation. |
| Topic | What opinion of yours would you defend like this |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 8:26:57 PM #27 | Squall28 posted... Dub is better than sub unless you can understand the native language. You lose the timing of deliveries and don't know wtf the people are saying.Maybe it was just that dub, but Shiki was one of the last anime shows I saw the dub of, and there was one scene I distinctly remembered getting more out of the Japanese vas performance than I did when I heard the English dub va. Most live-action foreign language stuff Ive seen has been in either a Romantic or Germanic language, and the language language structure to to English subtitles seems pretty straightforward, where I dont think Im missing anything in terms of timing deliveries. There have been times where I feel they comes up in anime though. |
| Topic | What opinion of yours would you defend like this |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 7:58:32 PM #16 | The one I actually feel strongly about gets too much hate. So, instead Ill go with the opinion that Taylor Swifts music is pretty average-to-forgettable and her public persona is just being basic. |
| Topic | Have you thought about your gender |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 7:53:36 PM #3 | I hated how others construed gender. I had no desire to adhere to social constructs organized and dictated by others simply because of my chromosome pairing. Thats how I ended up becoming non-binary. |
| Topic | I just saw The First Omen and saw Immaculate last week |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 7:44:29 PM #1 |
Theyre like the same movie. If horror films reflect what people are scared of at the time, Americans are def afraid of their bodily autonomy, the overturning of Roe v Wade, and (maybe also) the (re)growing power of religion to make decisions for peoples lives. I thought The First Omen captured the atmosphere better, but Immaculate had better acting and better horror shots. |
| Topic | Taxes. Do you normally owe or get money back? |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 7:34:36 PM #27 | Ive owed a few times, usually I get money back. The times I owed was when I worked out of state (I was in Florida which I heard didnt even have state taxes ? It was over a decade ago so I dont remember much other than I owed), when I didnt have insurance but also didnt have money to enroll in an insurance policy, and then again when I was enrolled but my employment changed right after I registered for insurance so I ended up not paying as much as I should have been paying monthly on my marketplace insurance and owed money for that. |
| Topic | What interests are "basic" girl friendly? |
| MangaBroski 04/17/24 7:29:56 PM #16 | Video games are sports are pretty basic-friendly as ideas. I dont think most women find being into sports weird, and (depending on your generation) most women think playing video games as hobby is pretty normal. Your intensity with those hobbies may not be basic-friendly, but they arent weird. |
